The Right Medicine For Justice

Nationwide Failure to Diagnose Attorneys

Millions Recovered for Clients across the United States

Physicians and other health care professionals are trained to detect a
variety of health conditions, both minor and major. Correctly diagnosing
a health problem is incredibly important, as many minor health issues
can rapidly develop into serious and life-threatening issues when left
untreated. Serious health problems, such as cancer and heart disease,
can progress with alarming speed. In many cases, it’s imperative
to find a disease in its early stages so that treatment can begin right
away. When doctors fail to diagnose a problem, it can be devastating for
the patient.

If you suffered unnecessary complications due to a delayed diagnosis, or
if your loved one died as a result of a doctor’s failure to diagnose
his or her health condition, we can help. Our attorneys work to hold negligent
medical professionals accountable, seeking full and fair compensation
for victims and their families.

Types of Cases We Handle

Our
medical malpractice lawyers at LawMD have a wide range of experience in failure to diagnose cases.

Our law firm has experienced physician-attorneys who have helped people
in the following types of cases:

The Effects of Missed Diagnoses

In many cases, doctors simply move too quickly. They go from patient to
patient and room to room without really taking the time to properly assess
each patient. This can be disastrous, as missed health concerns can rapidly
evolve into serious problems. For example, a patient with a missed diagnosis
of depression could ultimately harm himself or someone else. Similarly,
a patient with a metabolic disorder, such as diabetes, could experience
organ failure due to a doctor’s failure to diagnose the condition.

In other cases, doctors are overconfident about their knowledge or abilities.
They may ignore a patient’s complaint about symptoms or refuse to
order further testing because they believe they are correct about a patient’s
health condition. When a doctor’s treatment falls below the applicable
standard of care, people can suffer serious harm.

What is often frustrating for patients is that they had a gut feeling something
wasn’t right. When your instincts are firing on all cylinders, it’s
discouraging to be told you’re just imagining things or, even worse,
making it up to get attention.

If your doctor failed to diagnose your health condition, you deserve an
opportunity to tell your side of the story. It’s also important
to make sure your doctor is held accountable for his or her mistake. Your
speaking up could improve the lives of the hundreds of patients who come
after you. It takes courage to stand up for what’s right, which
is why our lawyers fight so hard to make sure patients get the respect
and compassion they deserve for doing so.

We Are the Advocates You Need

Failure to diagnose cases are incredibly challenging. They are difficult
to prove, and they are notoriously difficult to win. Many patients feel
discouraged before they even speak to a law firm. To make matters worse,
doctors often have a “circle the wagons” mentality toward
their fellow physicians. They protect their own, sometimes even at the
cost of a patient’s well-being. Proving that a doctor failed to
diagnose a condition is a daunting undertaking, which is why you need
an experienced, compassionate legal team on your side.

LawMD is that team. Our trial lawyers have won failure to diagnose cases
for patients across the country. We are based in Washington, D.C. and
serve clients across the United States; We practice in some of the country’s
biggest health care hubs. And, because many of our attorneys are also
medical professionals, we have the knowledge and experience to effectively
champion your case from start to finish.

Delays Can Bar Your Case Forever

The time limits for filing a medical malpractice case are short. If you
miss these important deadlines, you risk having your case forever barred.
This is why it’s so important to speak to experienced medical malpractice
lawyers about your case as soon as you suspect you have been a victim
of a failure to diagnose.

Medical malpractice cases are complex. As a patient, it’s normal
to have a lot of questions about your case and your options. If you feel
overwhelmed, you are not alone. Fortunately, you don’t have to feel
stressed or confused about the next steps in your case.

WHY YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM A DOCTOR IN YOUR COURTROOM

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR INJURIES, BECAUSE WE’VE LIKELY TREATED THEM.

Most of our physician-attorneys are either current or past treating doctors
in, collectively, a wide range of medical specialties. There is a good
chance one or more of our physician attorneys have actually treated medical
conditions similar to the ones from which you or your loved one now suffers.
That translates into care and understanding as your Counselors, and know-how
as your Advocates.

TIME- AND COST-SAVINGS FOR YOUR CASE

Any honest medical malpractice attorney will tell you that one of the greatest
expenses in a medical malpractice case is having to pay physician experts
to study the details of the medical issues in your case and, if necessary,
provide testimony at deposition and trial. While even our physician attorneys
may also need to hire outside medical experts for your case, our medical
know-how allows us to perform a significant amount of the medical analysis
necessary for your case in-house which may translate into significant
savings at the conclusion of your case.

Because we have in-house medical know-how, we can evaluate the medical
questions in your case and provide answers without a lengthy wait. Our
internal process involves getting the issues in your case quickly in front
of the right physician attorney who, based on his or her medical experience
and training, is most likely to have the answers you seek about whether
you have a case and how we might help you get the compensation you deserve
to help secure a brighter future for you and for your loved ones.
